For what it is worth, Timinco did hold tours of its Beauharnois facility (aka Becancour Silicon) -several and held meetings with fund managers and were promnoted by several sell side houses.

I was flagged to the company by a sell side broker as it burst through $1 before all that run (in those days I worked in a place where we got the early calls). This is important for everyone to realise - there is no visibility to POET by large equity funds.

There are no brokers pushing the story and buy side analysts and fund managers are busy people who have enough to look at within their investable universe - they will not look at something trading at a price below what their mandate allows in a place their mandate will not allow them to go. Having an international audience will only go so far because there are a couple of big hurdles to cross - the stock price and trading plpaform is one, disbelief is another (just like the number of people who might walk by a $100 bill on the street - not believing it could possibly be real - because if it was, someone would have picked it up)
